Carpe Diem --Stealth Campaign for Impeachment and Law Suits
Rush is whipping his reich wing minions into a frenzy, and they will be going into action supporting the shimp-in-chief.

Congressional offices are getting loaded with calls from angry citizens, demanding impeachment.

This is the time to take the opportunity that has been handed us...

Write those letters! WRite to the local offices of your Senators and Reps, and the letters will carry weight.

Call 1-800-839-5276 and request the office of the congresscritter of your choosing.

Bleachers 7 has written up a list of charges to mention:

Manipulating world financial markets through rigging oil prices.
Misappropriating $700 million in funds that were targeted for Afghanistan.
Keeping the Secretary of State out of the loop.
Showing SECRET maps to foreign nationals.

Spread the word to everyone you know.

Print up little cards on your computer with this information, and leave it wherever you go.
I have a friend who puts them in magazines in Drs offices. ^_^

Have this printed information with you so when the subject is brought up around the water cooler, or in line at the grocery store, you can do more than commerserate.... encourage people to Take Action.

Write letters to the editor, so that people see they aren't the only ones.

Write to news organizations (from calimary's most excellent list) and keep pushing for more truth to come out.

This is up to us... We The People.

Report on what you're doing, and add more ideas to this list.

Thanks for all your efforts..... we're going to make it very uncomfortable for the Smirk.

2. I LOVE the idea of leaving info in waiting rooms!
Printing up little cards with a few points is something I can do at the office, and will be easy to leave in magazines at doctor's offices and elsewhere.

Thanks for giving me the idea. It's going to make me feel more empowered and might even get someone's attention.

Hope everybody will keep this idea kicked!

Glad you like the idea of waiting rooms. Don't forget, having some on your person. People will be talking about this for a few days, and this is the time to have something to give them, to encourage them to take action, not just gripe.

I learned this years ago, when the building where I live had an abusive assistant manager. I got so tired of people just wanted to gripe about it, so I made little cards with phone numbers to call to report him, and when someone would gripe to me, I'd ask"Do you want to do something about it?" If they said "no", then I said, sorry, I know all about him, and just can't keep listening to endless gripes. If they said "Yes", I handed them a card, said that a file had already been started on him, and many people not only followed up, but shared it with others. So, being prepared *does* work. :)

If you feel like going further, you can have copies of a sample letter and local addresses. Once the job is halfway done for them, people who are angry are very likely to follow up.

As for the stealth part.... People have been making up 1/2 page fliers with upcoming draft info and leaving them in strategic places on college campuses. :) It shakes up the complacent.

Thanks for your efforts, and good luck with the drs office!

Kanary
